Scripting Survey Open until August 30, 2007

I recently picked up some new responsibilities related to scripting the Adobe Creative Suite. As part of my initial research, I realized that Adobe doesn't have a good overall picture of the scripting community. To fill that gap, I've opened a survey that I'm hoping you'll have time to participate.
The survey is at this link - http://niemannross.com/sdksurvey/index.php?sid=8 .
I've designed the survey so that it only asks questions that make sense, and will be as brief as possible. All questions are optional - answer what you want - the more you answer, the more we learn.
I'm also asking if you want to be part of a newsletter. If you don't answer "Yes," then we assume your answer is no! Trying to keep the world free of Spam!
Questions, comments? feel free to send them to [email protected]

RobL,
I have found one of National Instruments Knowledge Base articles detailing this error in reference to ActiveX.
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/1C025F018CB5761686256C56007DD258?OpenDocument
I believe this may be of some help.

When opening up Firefox, I kep getting a message: Firefox kept this page from reloading". My home page opens up but some other websites do not open until I hit the "allow" but. How do I remove this or adjust this?

My home page opens up fine, and there is a message, " Firefox kept this page from automatically reloading", and this same message shows up all the time. When I got to new websites, they will not open until I hit the "allow button" How do I turn this on or off, or adjust it?

Go to Tools --> Options.
In the Advanced tab go to "General". Uncheck the check box "Warn me when websites try to redirect or reload the page"

SharePoint PowerShell script to open Excel.Application on Windows server 2008 R2

Hi
I am building a PowerShell script to open an Excel file store on SharePoint document library. Sound simple enough but I just couldn't get over an error and hopefully someone can help give an answer here.
I have found many sample codes to use. All of the sample codes show that a new object must be created for Excel application
like ($Excel = New-Object -comobject Excel.Application) before that excel file can be read.
When I run this comand on a SharePoint server (Windows 2008 R2) either inside the script or by itself I keep getting the following error:
New-Object : Cannot load COM type Excel.Application.
+ $excel = New-Object <<<< -Com Excel.Application
+ CategoryInfo : InvalidType: (:) [New-Object], PSArgumentException
For the test, I ran this comand on a Windows 7 with MS Office applications installed, then it ran fine.
Is that because I don't have Office application (Excel) installed on the server to run this or some services need to be turned on?
From the sample codes, look like I should be able to run it on the Server with SharePoint installed.
Thanks for any advice or solution to resolve my issue.
Swanl

So I'm assuming this won't return anything either?
Get-WMIObject Win32_ClassicCOMClassSetting | ? {$_.VersionIndependentProgId -like 'excel.application'}
You need Office/Excel installed on the server because you're accessing those .DLLs for the automation functionality, but depending on what you're trying to do you may be able to use one of the office viewers:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=10 although I'm not sure how much of the com (if any) is exposed in a viewer install. if Office is not possible due to
budget reasons, I believe there are several 3rd party providers who can produce a com object that will handle Excel formats.

Script to open all PST files in a directory and open with Outlook.

Hi! I am looking for a script that opens all PST files in a directory, opens it in outlook, and writes to a log to see if it completed correctly. I'm new to VBscript and just want to see how the script would be written.
Thank you!!

Thank you for all the input! JRV, I went through the repository and couldn't find anything about importing into Outlook. I will use it for future references and I appreciate you directing me there.
Grant, I need to be able to locate all PST files within a directory, not point it to a specific pst. I also need it written to a log file. Here is what I have...Don't laugh, I'm very new...

Script to open SVGs in a folder and save them to one multipage PDF

Hi.
I'm using Illustrator for work and I love it, I never needed scripts yet.
Now I have couple houndred svgs coming in per day,
I would like to have a script that opens every svg one by one in the selected directory and add them to a pdf
as pages of the same size and than save it.
Is this possible? How many files I could put in 1 pdf this way?
I'm using Illustrator CS5 on Win7 x64.
Thanks in advance.
Istvan

I think there is a 100 file limit on artboards ( not tested ) but the size would also affect that… You can't straight place *.svg but you can make group from them would that do you?
#target Illustrator
function filesToArtboards() {
          // My function variables…
          var doc, fileList, i, inFolder, mm, svgFile;
          // Get the user to select a folder
          inFolder = Folder.selectDialog( 'Please choose your Folder of files to place…' );
          // Check they ain't cancelled
          if ( inFolder != null ) {
                    // Gets just the SVG files…
                    fileList = inFolder.getFiles( /\.svg$/i );
                    // Make sure it has AI files in it…
                    if ( fileList.length > 0 ) {
                              mm = 2.83464567 // Metric MM converter…

                              for ( i = 0; i < fileList.length; i++ ) {

Script to open eps and save to jpg

Hi,
I would need a script to open an eps or ai file at 100dpi, rgb, with the longest side of 500 px.
It would save the jpg at amximum quality with the same name + .jpg
then close the eps file without saving it.
I wanted tyo create an action for this but I cant figure how to create the jpg file with it's longest side to 500 pixels.
Jean

When you record your action use Fit Image to resize the document. Enter 500 in both width and height, that way the longest side will be 500. Fit Image will keep the image ratio.

C# Script to open and read an Excel spreadsheet with multiple worksheets

Can someone provide me the C# syntax and Edit Script to open an Excel spreadsheet with multiple worksheets and then using the data to create and output a .csv file? The multiple worksheets contain different data elements that I'll need to parse out and then
store as a .csv file that will then be read to pump data into our SQL Server Database.
Thanks for your review and am hopeful for a reply.

I have a project that crashed on me when I was about to finish it. When I try to reopen Final Cut Pro it wouldn't open until I took the project out of the Final Cut Project folder. Can somebody tell me if this is a problem that has a solution? I cannot go back to the project at all.

If you are using 10.0.3 or above Apple added a backups folder that for a little extra protection in cases like this. If you quite FCPX go to your Final Cut Pro Projects folder. Find the folder that has the project in question. If it has a backups folder there should be a file with a date stamp and .fcpproject extention, that is your back-up. Just move the back-up from that folder one folder up to the place where you deleted CurrentVersion.fcpproject from. When I have had to do this I haven't renamed the backup but some people to recomend that you rename it to CurrentVersion.fcpproject and it seems to work both ways. Ofcourse it wont work if there is already a CurrenVersion file there you will need to delete that one first.
If you don't have the backups folder or there is nothing in it I am not sure if there is anything that can be done.

Batch script to open multiple excel and doc files

Hi Everyone,
Could anybody please provide a batch script to open multiple excel and doc files at a time.
Appreciate ur quick response.
Regards,

You have several scripting choices within Windows. At a basic level you've got "batch files" - which run a series of command interpreter commands, and have a file extension of .BAT or .CMD. If you just wanted to open a list of Word documents, then assuming that the path to Word is correct (something like this below) you could list these in a file with a .BAT extension and run this (e.g. double click on it):
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\Winword.exe" "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop\File1.DOC"
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\Winword.exe" "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop\File2.DOC"
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\Winword.exe" "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop\File3.DOC"
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\Excel.exe" "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop\File1.XLS"
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\Excel.exe" "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop\File2.XLS"
Another script language is VBScript, which was the example I gave. VBScript is available on most Windows platforms and can be run from a command prompt or within Windows. If you save the text I gave you above to a file with a .VBS extension you can double-click to run it (Windows) or open a command prompt and type CSCRIPT MyVBScript.VBS (assuming that's the name of the your .VBS file).
Other script languages are available to achieve the same thing, including Powershell, however you'd need to have Powershell available on your PC.

Illustrator script to open file in Photoshop

The Bridge SDK has a script to open a selected file in Photoshop.
Can this be done from Illustrator instead?
It seems that the cross-dom function open() should work in either an illustrator or bridge script, yet the following does NOT work in Illustrator.
Fresh from the Bridge 5.1 SDK, it doesn't work in Bridge either, but that's for a different forum.
var t = app.activeDocument.fullName;
Photoshop.open(new File(t));
It provides me with Error 2: Photoshop is undefined.
So, any ideas on how to make this work?
This is all leading up to the real problem, which is to create a 150dpi jpg file, which Illustrator won't do.
Thanks All.

There are several ways in which you could get you output *jpeg to 72 dpi at a given set of dimensions… On way would be to scale the whole art in AI before exporting it… Up to you if you save this change or not… You can have PS open the image and alter the resolution after exporting… Or on the mac you could use some utility like the shell SIPS which you also have AppleScript access to via Image Events scripting… Anyhows here is a very basic example of how th pass a file object to PS using the bridgetalk messaging system… The Adobe way of doing it so to speak… I included a filp just so's you could see the changes made… Have fun…

There are numerous ways in which you can construct the script 'string' contents on the fly but you get the general idea…

A script to open files in a directory that have certain properties

I need a script to open all JPG files in a directory and it's subfolders that have a height greater than the width and then run a specific photoshop action for each (inlcuding a save for web within the same directory). Not sure if it's best to record that into the action as it will probably always try to save in the same directory. Probably need something similar to the batch options available in Photoshop that override this...
Any help is much appreciated.

I think I found what I'm looking for in ImageReady although I'm not sure how to set it to batch. I don't see the batch command in the File menu like Photoshop...
